Drop shipment, change order items
Hello all, we are going to use Drop shipments in most cases and we will face the situation of changing the order items very often. As we understand, there is no a mechanism for the automatic updating of the purchase order if the sales order was changed. Is it correct? How to add new drop shipment item to the existing sales order? We can not do it by using "Add To Order" widget, because it does not support drop shipments. Thank you very much. -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/Drop-shipment-change-order-items-tp3221256p3221256.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Re: Ofbiz : a Commons Platform
Joonas Keturi, who is the man behind this, has contacted us (Scott and me) at the beginning of January to ask if we would be interested by an updated patch. I answered positively but got no answers so far I must say that I have not used the new way (OFBIZ-3877) yet and don't know its status. Joonas uses it in a custom application... Jacques From: "Grant Edwards" Hi, Ofbiz : a Commons Platform My client has a number of different applications each storing and maintaining data similar to facilities, parties, contact information, addressing, geodata, content, location based information etc ... There is a real need to consolidate not only the data but also the mechanisms to manage it. Taking the above into consideration I am contemplating the following : 1) Using OFBiz as a commons platform. 2) Exposing all existing OFBiz services relating to facilities, parties, contact information, address, geodata, content ... to external clients via web services. 3) Publish a WSDL for all necessary services. 4) Client applications can read the WSDL file to determine what operations are available on the server. To-date, I have not found anything comprehensive in terms of documentation or user experience as to how this might be achieved. Of all the OFBiz + "web services" posts I found this one ( https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-3877) seemed the closest to the mark, but I get the impression that some of this is still work in progress. (If I am off the mark here, please feel free to correct me). Your thoughts and comments regarding "OFBiz : a Common Platform" would be most appreciated. Kind regards Grant

Re: inventory for a virtual product?
Hi All I'm trying to achieve the following scenario The Customer will subscribe to a product this product is magazine or journal so I've created the product and set up a subscription resource to it and created a sales order and then choose the product and I found a record in the subscriptions linking the order with the productSubscription that's fine my problem now is that those magazines and books will not be in warehouse. The publisher will send them direct t the client so I don't want want any inventory items and I don't want any stock checking So I made the it virtual product and I tried to make another sales order on the product but I couldn't. it gave me the following message Choose Variation Before Adding to Cart Although It's not a virtual product why that happened? Am I on the right direction of completing a sales order where items are not in my warehouse? Should I set the supplier to Can Drop Shipe="Y" I'm confused about this -- View this message in context: http://ofbiz.135035.n4.nabble.com/inventory-for-a-virtual-product-tp152521p3220897.html Sent from the OFBiz - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
